Sometimes the mirrors can break

When you can hear your heart, you are the mirror, when you can’t, you are the reflection. Yet, don’t forget: sometimes the mirrors can break!

I was completely unaware of being Tzu. Suddenly I woke up and here I was myself again, the genuine Tzu. Then I realized I did not know whether I had formerly been ,aming I was a butterfly, or whether I was now a butterfly dreaming that I was Tzu. Yet, between Tzu and a butterfly, there has to be a difference. This is a case of what is called the Transformation of Things.

A scenery where, compared to Earth, everything seemed a bit out of place. Yet I couldn’t explain what exactly was different. The people from the city had not followed me on this side of the river and I was relieved to see myself beyond the reach of their weapons.
